We men should see to it that our families are run, and our children are raised, according to the Bible. (This, of course, presupposes that the Bible is true - which is what I believe.) The Bible makes some pretty clear distinctions between men and women in Ephesians 5:22-6:4, 1 Timothy 2:8-15, 1 Timothy 5:1-16, Titus 2:1-6, and 1 Peter 3:1-7.

Like I said, this is based on believing the Bible. If you don't believe it, then I suppose you'll have to come up with something else. :-)

I'm with you. The writer above seems stuck in 50's provincialism, because the Bible quite frankly depicts women as capable of various evils. The "loose woman" of Proverbs comes to mind, along with the cunning Delilah and the vicious Jezebel. (Oh, almost forgot! The Whore of Babylon!)

God gives us roles to play for a reason (His!) but always Satan, taunting us with our "potential" if we would just ignore God. Are we any happier now, having shirked our God-ordained roles? Not a chance!
